While Projects (Yes, I did mean Projects with a capital P like others may write god with a capital G.) are usually started with a hopeful cheer and infectious enthusiasm, it is difficult for me to approach yet another blog (And horrors! A marketing tool!) with that attitude.

The infection of my enthusiasm seems more like an abscess; a recessed thing filled with pus-filled dread and cynicism.

In fact starting a blog with the words pus-filled seems so unlikely to appeal to literary fans, as to be a nihilistic magic trick. Ta da! Long night of the soul. What's the point of any of you/me/this? Curtain. End scene.

Or it may just be a reminder that I need to find a new dentist.

Which brings me back to why I (and by meandering design YOU) are here.

Hello.

The book challenge (for me acknowledge, record, review the books I am reading is the challenging bit) inspired me. (Trepidatiously.) And a goodreads blog is a good place for those snippets to go (possibly scavenging bits for other malingering blogs).

Also goodread events, convos worth repeating, and any other bookish nonsense.

So "Hello!" We'll see what happens. And if this is my one and only post feel free to say "I told you so". Which I will echo. (But at the moment hope will not be true.)
